Abstract: The invention concerns an optical sensor for measuring the property of a gaseous or
liquid medium, particularly the opaqueness of a washing or rinsing liquid in a washing
or rinsing machine, with at least one radiation source (LED2), a radiation receiver (FT) and a light-transmitting
sensor body (21), with an optical boundary surface (22), which, depending on the
nature of the medium present outside the boundary surface of the sensor body, to a
greater or lesser degree transmits to the radiation receiver and/or reflects the
radiation directed on to it, resulting at the radiation receiver in different measurement
signals which characterise the reflectivity and the refractive index conditions at the
boundary surface. Unambiguous measurement signals for process control of a
washing or rinsing machine are obtained through separate sensing of the
transparency and reflection of the medium.

Abstract: The dregs or other deposits in a beer pipe 10 are
washed out by introducing strong alkaline electrolysed
water produced by an electrolysed functional water
generator 1, in which an outlet 71 is connected to the
beer pipe 10 as shown in Fig. 2. In the next step,
referring to Fig. 3, strong acidic electrolysed water
produced by the water generator 1 is introduced into
the beer pipe 10 for exterminating bacteria/microorganisms
inside the beer pipe 10. An
electrolyte solution containing dissolved electrolytes
such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is electrolysed
in the water generator 1. The thus strong alkaline
electrolysed water contains a trace of sodium hydroxide
(NaOH) and hydroxide ions (OH - ), which exhibit a
soap-like action and dissolve beer dregs (proteins).
The strong acidic electrolysed water contains hypochlorous
acid (HClO), whose bactericidal effect kills
all bacteria/microorganisms.
